Walking the Streets of Dresden

Today was gorgeous!  Worked on the window display at Social Supper and then picked up our "Baby Caroline" so her mama could volunteer in our Catie Lynn's class at the Dresden Elementary School.  Oh how wonderful the sunshine felt.  Temps in the 60's.  Walked from one end of Dresden to the other stopping at the library, a garage sale and the Dari-Twist for lunch.  They have the best Pizza Burgers!  AND...if you've never tried a Hot Fudge Soda...you should!  Today was also my birthday so I treated myself to both!  As we walked back to our van, a friend called and met me at the van with a box full of homemade blueberry muffins!  They are going to taste so good in the morning with my first cup of coffee!

Heading home for the celebration.  Catie Lynn was whispering to her mom and smiling at me all morning before she left for school.  Can't wait to see what she cooked up!

Back from our trip to North Carolina.  Had a great time.  Leaves were gorgeous!  Loved visiting with family.  Dad took us to every thrift shop and flea market that he knew of!   GOOD TIMES!  On Friday they took us to a little mom and pop restaurant in downtown Blowing Rock called KNIGHTS.  Friday is Fresh Oyster Day!  I'm not a huge fan of oysters but these are so good!  perfectly battered.  fresh from the shore.  Stood in line for over an hour to get a plate full (well, we shopped and the others stood in line for us!)  Asked the guy in the kitchen and he said they ordered 84 dozen for that day.  I bet they sold out by 1:00.  It was a huge plateful...probably a dozen on each plate!

Finished our day on Saturday with a visit to the festival in the Valley.  Posted a pic below...be sure to see how beautiful the mountains are all around this festival.  Loved it when my dad stood beside me, turned me around 360 degrees and then said, "if you didn't believe in God...this view would change your mind"!  A memory that I know I'll never forget!!

The last two photos are from a shop on Main St. in Blowing Rock.  A mantle scape from one of their many gorgeous rooms of displays and merchandise!  Trying to remember the name...it'll come to be one of these days!

Green's Tea Room

10/13/2010

Yesterday Dave came in and asked me if I wanted to go to lunch at  "Green's Tea Room".  Been on my bucket list for awhile.  You see this is a very old establishment in our area.  Growing up it was TABOO to go there.  In the day my mom would have called it a beer joint:) 

So, we went!  OMYGOODNESS!  So fun!  Great food!  Very nice owners!  Been wondering how long it's been in business.  A friend said her Dad was thrown out of there for underage drinking and he's 83!  So we figure it's at least 69 years old.  Don't you wonder how it got the name "tea room"???  We all figure it was so if you had to tell someone where you'd been, you could say the "tea room" instead of the beer joint~~ LOL! 

Anyway, here are some pics.  You can bet we'll be back.  Tuesday is 1.00 night!  1.00 Burgers, hand cut fries and hand dipped Onion Rings!!!  In fact...we have next Tuesday already marked on the calendar...gonna meet some dear friends there!

Oh...and you can find them on FaceBook!  They call it the Dresden Country Club!!

Worked on the etsy shop all day yesterday...it's like an obsession now!  Here is the new banner.  Kinda fun to make.  Started out with a photo of a bunch of old paper roses I had thrown in the corner of the DJS and then ended up like this:)  Decided to do a vignette and then break it down and list all the pieces.  That was fun too!  Anyway...here are the photos...

Yep...we're headin' south!  Looking forward to a few days in the mountains of North Carolina near Blowing Rock.  We'll be visiting with parents and family, thrift shopping, leaf peeping and trampin' around the flea markets!  Our idea of a perfect getaway!

So...we're in the process of working hard to get outta here.  Sorting, pricing and listing.  Today was "work on the etsy store" day.  Take a look and let me know what you think.  You can find a link to our etsy shop on the LINKS page.

Need to work on my picture taking techniques!  Etsy has a bit of a different set up and I always crop too much.  Trial and error...I'll get it one of these days!

NOTE:  DJS will be closed Thursday 10/14-Tuesday 10/19.  BUT...be sure to visit our booths while we're closed.  Social Supper in Dresden OH, Finder's Keepers in Heath OH, Berlin Village Antique Mall and Berlin Antique Mall in Berlin OHIO.  Directions on our LINKS page.

Four of the nicest ladies from Virginia stopped by on Saturday.  Met them at the Social Supper in the morning as I was restocking some of the displays.  They asked about the DJS.  Told 'em it wasn't pretty, but if they liked to dig in boxes...they were more than welcome to stop by.  AND THEY DID!  So enjoyed visiting with them.  Having a girl's getaway.  Staying at Sarah's Place Bed and Breakfast in Dresden and loving their time there too!  So enjoyed visiting with them and hearing them giggle and laugh.  Made me want a girl's getaway week-end too!!
